that's right
BUT

That's exactly what i was talking about all the time when i say
copyright is bad law.

JD> eventually removes the copyright protection of the media.
So what ? What is wrong with that ?
There is no laws restricting developing protection of IP so there should be no laws
restricting breaking such protections.
If industry developes copy-protected CDs everything is ok with that
If hackers develope methods breaking such protection everything is ok with that
Both things are natural rights of each side of the conflict.
